xkblayout is a CLI application to generate templates for a new XKB layout, either in the user's home directory or the system directory.

bemenu is a dynamic menu which allows the user to flexibly select from a list of options (usually programs to launch). It renders the menu graphically with X11 or Wayland, or in a text terminal with ncurses.

physlock locks all virtual terminals at once, only allowing the user of the active session (the user logged into the foreground virtual terminal) to unlock the computer. It is an alternative to vlock -an, written to overcome vlock's limitations regarding hibernate and suspend.

xsecurelock is an X11 screen locker which uses a modular design to avoid the usual pitfalls of screen locking utility design.

As a consequence of this design, you shouldn't use the usual screen locker service with xsecurelock. Instead, add a helper binary to your operating-system's privileged-programs field:

(privileged-programs
 (cons*
  (privileged-program
   (program (file-append xsecurelock "/libexec/xsecurelock/authproto_pam"))
   (setuid? #t))
  %default-privileged-programs))

Ulauncher is a fast application launcher for Linux. It is written in Python, using GTK+, and features: App Search (fuzzy matching), Calculator, Extensions, Shortcuts, File browser mode and Custom Color Themes.

AutoKey is a desktop automation utility for X11. It allows the automation of virtually any task by responding to typed abbreviations and hotkeys. It offers a full-featured GUI (GTK and QT versions) that makes it highly accessible for novices, as well as a scripting interface offering the full flexibility and power of the Python language.

Wofi is a launcher/menu program for wlroots based wayland compositors such as sway, similar to rofi.

Pyperclip is a clipboard module for Python, handling copy/pasting from the X11 clipboard

xbanish hides the mouse cursor when you start typing, and shows it again when the mouse cursor moves or a mouse button is pressed.

clipnotify is a simple program that, using the XFIXES extension to X11, waits until a new selection is available and then exits.

It was primarily designed for clipmenu, to avoid polling for new selections.

clipnotify doesn't try to print anything about the contents of the selection, it just exits when it changes. This is intentional -- X11's selection API is verging on the insane, and there are plenty of others who have already lost their sanity to bring us xclip/xsel/etc. Use one of those tools to complement clipnotify.

CopyQ is clipboard manager with editing and scripting features. CopyQ monitors system clipboard and saves its content in customized tabs. Saved clipboard can be later copied and pasted directly into any application.

wl-color-picker is a script that provides color picker for Wayland and wlroots by leveraging grim and slurp.

FYI is a command line utility to send desktop notifications to the user via a notification daemon implementing XDG desktop notifications.

The x-resize command detects physical display resolution changes via udev and invokes the xrandr command to reconfigure the active display resolution accordingly. It can be used to implement dynamic resize support for desktop environments that lack native support such as Xfce.

Bind a key for any given application that will launch the application, if it's not already running, or focus the application's window,if it is running. Pressing the key again will cycle to the application's next window, if there's more than one.

XOSD provides a C library and a simple utility (osd_cat) for displaying transparent text on your screen.

Aquamarine is a C++-only Linux rendering backend library. It provides basic abstractions for an application to render on a Wayland session (in a window) or a native DRM session. It is agnostic of the rendering API (Vulkan / OpenGL).

This package provides a small utility for inverting the colors on all monitors attached to an XRandR-capable X11 display server.

Startup-notification contains a reference implementation of the startup notification protocol. The reference implementation is mostly under an X Window System style license, and has no special dependencies.

sxhkd is a simple X hotkey daemon with a powerful and compact configuration syntax.

This package provides a library for programmatically controlling Xorg windows using Python. The library relies on the wmctrl to do so.

Libwacom is a library to help implement graphics tablet settings. It is intended to be used by client-programs that need model identification. It is already being used by the gnome-settings-daemon and the GNOME Control Center Wacom tablet applet.

XLockMore is a classic screen locker and screen saver for the X Window System.

Gammastep automatically adjusts the color temperature of your screen according to your surroundings. This may help your eyes hurt less if you are working in front of the screen at night.
